Mobile roll compactor for compacting waste

A mobile roll compactor for compacting waste comprising:

• a frame;
• a ramp connected to the frame;
• and
• a roller assembly connected to the frame, the roller assembly comprising:
• a first arm having a first end portion pivotally connected to the frame about a first pivot axis;
• a second arm having a first end portion pivotally connected to a second end portion of the first arm about a second pivot axis;
• a third arm having a first end portion pivotally connected to a second end portion of the second arm about at third pivot axis;
• a roller rotationally connected to a second end portion of the third arm;
• an arm actuator connected to the frame and operatively connected to the first arm for selectively pivoting the first arm about the first pivot axis;
• and
• a roller actuator operatively connected to the roller for turning the roller;
• the roller assembly having a transport configuration where the first arm is generally horizontal, and the roller is on the ramp at or near a bottom of the ramp;
• the roller assembly having a plurality of compacting configurations where the first arm is generally vertical and the roller is off the ramp, the roller actuator being configured to roll the roller to move the roller assembly from one compacting configuration of the plurality of compacting configurations to another compacting configuration of the plurality of compacting configurations;
• and
• the roller assembly being movable from the transport configuration to one of the plurality of compacting configurations by rolling the roller up the ramp and by pivoting the first arm generally vertically, the roller actuator being configured to roll the roller along the ramp, and the arm actuator being configured to pivot the first arm from horizontal to vertical.
